  • Title: Histopathologic study of presumed parafoveal telangiectasis.
    Author: Eliassi-Rad B, Green WR.
    Journal: Retina; 1999; 19(4):332-5. PubMed ID: 10458300.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To report the postmortem histopathologic features that closely resemble the clinical features of parafoveal telangiectasis. METHODS: Light and electron microscopy. RESULTS: Histopathologic features included macular edema; telangiectatic vessels; retinal, subretinal, and superficial retinal neovascularization; retinal pigment epithelial hyperplasia around neovascular aggregates; retinal-choroidal vascular anastomosis; and superficial pigmented cells with lipofuscin. CONCLUSION: The postmortem histopathologic findings in a 36-year-old woman with Down syndrome and other systemic conditions correlate with features noted in previous reports of presumed parafoveal telangiectasis.
